This book contains not all of my experiences and adventures in life but those experiences and adventures which, I feel, were rather unusual. Especially, the circumstances when these happenings occurred.

These experiences manifested themselves in the United States, the Philippines and Japan which included World War II.

How I got into a situation that had my buddy and I, in a makeshift pontoon boat, face a Liberty ship heading at us 200 feet away you would not believe. For company, we had sharks and barracuda.
